Are you specifically requesting this for single letters inside quotes? Because if not, I would reject this request. Seeing a report like bug 54409, people would get angry, if we changed the behaviour completely.

Yes, I asked for single letter inside quotes.

We have the option "Capitalize first letter of sentence" which turns >this is "a".< correctly changes it into >This is "a".< (while >"a" is this.< remains lower case probably because of the quote).

You are likely talking about >What i want< being changed into >What I want - but only for English and not for >What a want<. This option is defined in the replacement table for English as i => I. And IMO also relevant when quoted.

Is there any other example than with "i => I"?

Seems only "I" has issue.  All other letters work as expected.

So the "bug" is only intrinsic for the English language. And easy to remove from the replacement table.
